LIVINGSTON, NJ--(Marketwire - October 04, 2012) - Milestone Scientific, Inc. (OTCQB: MLSS), the recognized leader in advanced, computer-controlled injection technologies, today announced that Dental American Group has begun the rollout of Milestone’s STA Single Tooth Anesthesia System® across five offices in the South Florida region.
Manual Gonzalez, General Manager of Dental American Group, commented, “Our dentists immediately saw the value while working with Milestone’s Single Tooth Anesthesia System, including reduced waiting time for the onset of anesthesia, which means higher patient turnover. While we expand our practice throughout Florida, we will continue to implement Milestone’s painless injection system and are excited to be able to provide this novel experience for our patients.”
Leonard Osser, Chief Executive Officer of Milestone Scientific, commented, “We are pleased to work with Dental American Group, a highly regarded group dental practice, consisting of 20 dentists and 7 Hygienists, that is seeking to grow rapidly throughout Florida. This validates our strategy of targeting dental group practices and further reinforces the clear advantages of our instruments among practitioners and patients alike.”
“Milestone’s strategic growth plan for the coming years in the United States includes a major focus on targeting group dental practices. These companies represent approximately 9% of the dental market and are anticipated to grow to approximately 15% of the market within the next three years. By being able to charge for pain free anesthesia, dentists are able turn a cost center into a profit center while taking advantage of the many clinical, operational and patient benefits. We believe this will be a key driver for Milestone’s success in the coming years.”
